A force of 2 N acts on a 2-kg object, initially at rest, for 2 s. During that time the object moves a distance of
A) 1 m.
B) 2 m.
C) 4 m.
D) 8 m.

Question

The equation for acceleration is a = F/m, where F is the force applied and m is the mass. Plugging in the values given, we get a = 2 N / 2 kg = 1 m/s^2.

To find the distance traveled, we can use the equation d = (1/2)at^2, where d is distance, a is acceleration, and t is time. Plugging in a and t, we get d = (1/2)(1 m/s^2)(2 s)^2 = 2 m. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
